the Lords of Tharsis practically without reaction capacity. Just fifteen days the Immortals had
               to wait in the surroundings of the Chapel of the Hill Candelaria: once concluded that time Godo
               of Tharsis, who inexplicably didn't notice the presence of his foes, was in front of Them. When
               he  realized  that  a  few  steps  from  him  were  those  personages  dressed  with  their  robes  of
               Cistercian monks, in an instintive impulse he took his sword; but nothing else than this he
               could make: with great rapidity Bera raised the Dorché, he pronounced a word, and an orange
               ray hit the chest of the young Noyo, throwing him many metres away. Then the Immortals took
               the unconscious body of Godo by the elbows and, after they repeated the series of words in
               counterpoint while they looked each other straight in the eye, they left the place realizing such
               huge leaps, that allowed them to cross the kilometres in just few minutes.
                      Bera and Birsha would lose some time trying to obtain the confession of Godo about the
               Key of the secrete entrance. With that purpose they didn't kill him immediately and they tried
               to do what they had already practiced other times without success: but his time, with more
               calm they concentrated in his psychic structure, trying to read in some memory the register
               about  the  manner  to  enter  and  leave  from  the  Secret  Cavern.  Nevertheless,  all  was  in  vain
               again;  neither  the  key  seemed  to  be  registered  in  his  mind;  nor  the  most  refined  torture
               achieved  that  Noyo  released  the  tongue.  To  all  this,  the  Lords  of  Tharsis  received  the  sad
               announcement of the disappearence of Godo.
                      Once elapsed twelve hours since he left the cavern, the Noyo Noso comprehended that
               Noyo would not return and he decided to warn the Count of Tarseval; then he descended from
               the Hill Candelaria, and he went to the shore of the Odiel, where the Lords of Tharsis had a
               little  boat  for  similar  cases:  one  hour  later  he  landed  two  kilomenters  from  the  Seignioral
               Residence. In this way the Count of Tarseval knew that his son Godo had been kidnaped by the
               Golem.
                      If some day you decide to visit Huelva, appreciated Dr. Siegnagel, surely you would want
               to know the Cavern of the Miracles and the Ruins of the Templar Castle, in Aracena. For it you
               will have to take the road that pass through Valdeverde del Camino, very near from the ancient
               emplacement of the House of Tharsis, until Zalamea la Real; there is necessary to bifurcate to a
               secondary road that goes up to the Mines of Río Tinto, which were exploited in remote times by
               the Iberians, and after twenty kilometres it reach to Aracena. Of course, there's no touristical
               reason that justifies to go by other path, at least if is desired to travel through better roads and
               if is continued from Zalamea la Real to Jabugo, that connects with the broad route which goes
               from Lisbon to Seville and follows the old Roman scheme from where Bera and Birsha came.
                      But if it is not the motive and wants to enter in unnecessary complications, then you can
               go through this last path and prepare to take a small carraigeway, which deviation is at some
               two kilometres after the bridge over the River Odiel. There is necessary to drive with caution
               due to the trail is usually careless, when not completely impassable; there are a pair of villages
               of uncertain name and some farms bit prosperous, dwelled by hostile people to the strangers: if
               someone decide to enter through those places he shoud go disposed to all due to no help could
               be expected from its dwellers; ¡it seems a lie, but seven hundred years later still persists the fear
               for what occurred in the moments that I am referring to! it is not exaggerated, in all the region
               is perceived a gloomy climate, threatening, wich goes increasing towards the North; and the
               villagers, more and more hostile or frankly aggressive, they retain many familiar legends about
               what  happened  in  the  days  of  the  House  of  Tharsis,  although  they  take  care  well  to  not
